Bayou Soul.

Crab, shrimp, mussels, lobster — tossed in our signature Cajun sauces, served by the bagful. Eat in, take out, or order ahead from our San Jose kitchen.

Our Story

Cajun fire, California seafood.

The Crab Bay brings the rolled-up-sleeves spirit of a Louisiana boil to the South Bay. Whole crab, jumbo shrimp, mussels, clams, and lobster are tossed bag-side in your choice of four house sauces — then handed over hot, glossy, and ready to be devoured.

Behind every bag is a kitchen that refuses to compromise on quality: fresh seafood, our own Cajun spice blend, and sauces simmered from scratch.
